I've read on this site the A319 seat recline is huge and the tray tables for some unexplicable reason are still attached to the seat in front. So are the best seats still the bulkheads? Are there little foot cutouts so you actually get less legroom in the bulkheads? I know on the MD-88 there are no foot cutouts and the bulkheads seats are extremely cramped.
